Surrounded by dancing lights, delicious food, and the clink of coins in your pocket, CJ 1150, Sun 102, Rock 106, and Discover Estevan were pleased to host an evening of Las Vegas style fun, in partnership with Bear Claw Casino and Hotel. With eighty-five contestants, five finalists, and only one Vegas Vacation giveaway, the stakes were high!

Guests arrived around 6:00 pm on Thursday night and were greeted by the savoury smell of Bear Claw's burger bar. Given the red carpet treatment, everyone enjoyed dinner and visiting before the show got underway. 

With space for five qualifiers at the blackjack table, Nick Nielsen, Rock 106 Afternoons and the host for Vegas Vacation, entertained the audience with a variety of games. Each game helped to determine which lucky contestants would be playing to 21 at the end of the night. Whooping laughter radiated from the roped off area where the eighty-five participants eagerly waited for Lady Luck to intervene and win them a spot in the finals. 

In the end, Connie Moberg, Robin Poliszuk, Kevin Wall, Alexander Willemsy, and Martin Killback were invited to play one hand of blackjack for the chance to win the Vegas Vacation. 

All contestants were invited to the Bear Claw Casino and Hotel event after winning a hand of blackjack against the radio station announcers, but these five lucky players sat down at the high stakes table with thoughts of a warm getaway in mind. 

The first card was dealt, then the next and with each card, the audience waited in anticipation. Leaning in for the final draw, Martin Killback was our lucky winner!

Congratulations to Martin and thank you to everyone who came out for a fantastic evening! A special thanks to the sponsors for the event; A&A Jewellery, The Brick, House of Stationary, Merit Ford, Senchuk Ford.
